story: The power of a great story teller
- 11/12/20 05:29 AM
Down through the aged great story tellers have been celebrated. Back in the day, before TV or Radio, yes young'uns there was such a day, people entertained themselves with stories. Thankfully great authors ( and bloggers, too) are continuing this tradition, but it seems to be dying out in the general population. I find that the Real Estate universe is also not immune. Pull up any listing on your local MLS system and read what the agent has written. "beautiful 3 bed 2 bath on a street with trees, blah, blah, blah...
